Miller signed his letter of intent to run cross country and track at Northwest Missouri State on Wednesday. The Central High School senior says the campus in Maryville was a big selling point, as well as being part of a program on the rise.

"Coach Lorek is really awesome; a really caring guy. They have a young, growing program that's really going to be competing well here in a few years, and I want to be part of that."

Miller chose Northwest over Southwest Baptist.

He's made it to state in cross country in each of the past four years. He's joining a team that's only losing one senior off this year's squad.
